📢Post-Image Research Cluster is excited to announce a compelling 2-day symposium titled “Visioning New Horizons”. This event extends the dialogue initiated in Post-Image’s 2022-2023 speaker series “Moving the Landscape to Find Ground,” aiming to explore strategies, projects, and policies to affect change and decenter colonialism within arts institutions founded upon White settler governance and colonial structures. “Visioning New Horizons” is presented in partnership with Indigenous Futures Research Centre, Faculty of Fine Arts, Milieux Institute for Arts and Culture and Onkwehonwené:ha Research Chair.

📚From interrogating images, to the critical role of curation in challenging narratives, the panels will engage with 2-Spirit/Queer practices and IBPOC expression of new materialities through lens-based practices, navigating through critical themes in arts and culture. Attendees can anticipate thought-provoking conversations that not only delve into past practices but also envision actionable change for the future.

Next week! ✨

Post Image is announcing a book launch for “Driving in Palestine” by Rehab Nazzal. This in-person event will be hosted on April 20th at 4PM at Concordia EV 11.725.

The event will include live Arabic music, refreshments & copies of the book for sale✨

Driving in Palestine is a research-creation project by acclaimed artist Rehab Nazzal, who explores the visible indices of the politics of mobility that she encountered firsthand while traversing the occupied West Bank between 2010 and 2020. This photography book consists of 160 black and white photographs, hand-drawn maps and critical essays in Arabic and English by Palestinian and Canadian scholars and artists.

The photographs were all captured from moving vehicles on the roads of the West Bank. They focus on Israel’s architecture of movement restrictions and surveillance structures that proliferate in the West Bank, including the Apartheid Wall, segregation walls surrounding illegal colonies, gates, fences, watchtowers, roadblocks and military checkpoints among other obstacles to freedom of movement.

Rehab Nazzal is a Palestinian-born multidisciplinary artist based in Toronto. Her work deals with the effects of settler-colonial violence on the bodies and minds of colonized peoples, on the land and on other non-human life. Nazzal’s video, photography and sound works have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Canada and internationally. Dr. Nazzal was an assistant professor at Dar Al-Kalima University in Bethlehem and has taught at Simon Fraser University, Western University and Ottawa School of Art. She is the recipient of several awards, including the Social Justice Award from Toronto Metropolitan University and the Edmund and Isobel Ryan Visual Arts Award in Photography from the University of Ottawa.

Munch, crunch, and chewewew on a body of work that’s

SWEET, TART, SALTY, BITTER, UMAMI

Freshly squeezed from experiences of a Hong Kong-Chinese diasporic child growing up tirelessly grasping at their language ∴ culture.

Nothing quite tastes like slowly distilled homesickness. ⚗️

🔮 Snack Witch Joni Cheung 🍡 is a grateful, uninvited guest born—and knows she wants to die—on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh, Stó:lō, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh peoples. They are hopefully going to be finished toiling over their MFA on the stolen lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka peoples to become a Certified Sculpture Witch at Concordia University.

A wicked ✨ eating art + making snacks⁠, their interdisciplinary practice investigates the relationship between objects↔place↔identity, navigating discourses of transnationalism, migration, and diasporas, always with humour, and sometimes with food. 😉

Aside from researching/art-making/imagining/writing/teaching/dreaming, Joni likes doing snack and beverage reviews, medium length walks at the beach, being wrapped into a blanket burrito 🌯 & cinnamon bun 🥐, and her perfect first date involves a thorough walkthrough at multiple grocery stores + Costco, bubble tea, and breads + pastries 🌈.

Tomorrow! 🎞️ Post Image member Jinyoung Kim will be screening her new short film, “Recitation” as part of the event Seeing and Not Knowing. This is a one-day event of two short film screenings at

Join Jinyoung Kim and Myriam Yates for the premier of two new films followed by a discussion with architecture theorist Alan Dunyo Avorgbedor. Kim and Yates are recipients of the one-time program supporting the realization of a short film. Seeing and Not Knowing sought films that, by brushing against the politics of place, were attentive to its history and context. Kim and Yates’ projects respectively explore the histories, politics, and forms of representation space gives rise to. Connecting the modernist housing she grew up in outside Seoul with their models in East Berlin, Kim reflects on where and how to locate her sense of place and home. Embedding herself in the summer music residency at the Orford Music Academy in the Mont-Orford National Park, Yates shadows a group of young musicians in their rigorous study and shared living amidst the school’s built and natural surroundings. In conversation with Avorgbedor, Kim and Yates will discuss their working processes and the dialogues they find between architecture, environment, and moving images.

Jinyoung Kim is a visual artist and an educator whose work explores a sense of place and material culture as a core condition where personal and collective memories coalesce expanding on an imaginary for the past and the present. She uses photography, video, and object-based installations to weave together an inventory of lived experiences that build on the positionality of an Asian diaspora. Her works have been exhibited and screened across Canada and internationally. She is the 2019 winner of the Prix Lynne Cohen from Estate of Lynne Cohen and Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec and was shortlisted for Prix Pierre-Ayot in 2018. Her projects have been supported by Canada Council for the Arts and Conseil des arts des lettres du Québec. She has obtained her BFA from OCAD University and MFA from Concordia University. Kim lives and works in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montreal.

Get to know Post Image member Jessica Auer 💫
Part 2:

Jessica Auer is a Canadian photographer, filmmaker and educator, who works from a decommissioned fish factory in Seydisfjördur, Iceland. Her work is broadly concerned with the study of landscapes as cultural sites. Through a research-based practice, she examines our social, political and aesthetic attitudes towards place, including but not limited to – historical sites, tourist destinations, and small communities.
‍
Working mainly with large format photography, Jessica is best known for her tableau-style photographs that examine the ways in which landscapes have been preserved, altered or commodified for sightseeing. Through these photographs, she expresses a deep concern for nature and the vulnerability of remote sites and communities when confronted with mass tourism. Her images aim to reveal the geo-political realities surrounding travel and the paradox of attempting to preserve the same landscapes that the industry often seeks to exploit.

Recent projects include the documentary film Shore Power (2020) and the exhibition Landvörður (2021) which is now touring Iceland, currently showing at Slaturhúsid Cultural Center in Egilsstaðir. Jessica also recently edited and published the book Skriðusögur, a photography book about the Seyðisfjörður landslides of December 2020.
